A university which serves its local community: AN OBJECT LESSON IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE

DAVID SHELTON (Manager of Planning and Organisation Development, Agricultural Training Board. He and his wife together run their own 90‐acre farm near Sevenoaks in Kent. In September 1980 he attended the Eighth MBO, State of the Art Conference in Dallas, Texas and, while there, he made a three‐day visit to the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University, College Station, Texas. What he saw there so impressed him that he thought it worth recording and communicating.)

Abstract

Although the article is oriented towards the agriculture industry its message applies to all industries and to a wider community. For those interested in promoting change and those people who are studying what society must do to adapt to new technology this report can be taken as a case study on how to integrate an institution of higher education into the working life of the community and, as such, it has a major contribution to make to the debate on OPEN TECH. The author wishes to acknowledge the help extended to him by the Douglas Bomford Trust in the making of this tour.
